Genes associated with endometriosis risk are highly expressed in M2 macrophages, particularly ligands IL1A and IL1B. Endometrial‐type epithelium and stroma are likely recipients of these ligands. While IL1B treatment disturbs epithelial organization, blockage of the signaling results in a dose‐dependent decrease in spontanesous and evoked pain, reduces

Parvovirus B19 Infection as a Potential Trigger for Systemic Diseases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT It is crucial to perform direct methods like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) beyond serology to diagnose an active viral infection that can trigger a cutaneous/systemic disease, such as fibromyalgia. Indeed, measuring the viral load in tissues, plasma, and serum are diagnostic tools that permit the follow‐up of an active infection.

Fibromyalgia and Depression [PDF]
Fibromyalgia and depression might represent two manifestations of affective spectrum disorder. They share similar pathophysiology and are largely targeted by the same drugs with dual action on serotoninergic and noradrenergic systems. Here, we review evidence for genetic and environmental factors that predispose, precipitate, and perpetuate ...

μ‐Opioid Receptor Dynamics in the Parameningeal Tissue During Migraine Attacks
Objective The possible impact of meningeal μ‐opioid receptor (μOR) binding in migraine remains unknown. This study investigated μOR availability in the cranial parameninges involved in migraine initiation via nociceptor activation. Methods We used positron emission tomography with [11C] carfentanil, and measured μOR availability in meninges and ...

Objective Abnormalities in pain regulatory mechanisms are common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We investigated whether pain sensitization changes after treatment with a disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) and explored associations between changes in pain sensitization and disease activity.
